Subject.,
Patent drawing standardization

My name is Rick Forest and I am a patent draftsman with over
30 years experience. Regarding the standardization of PCT and
USPTO drawing requirements, I have the following comments,
Consideration should, be given that the standards of the USPTO
should not be lowered to that of the PCT. Proper shading of the
structure depicted in the patent drawing allows for and
accurate interpretation of the structure shown. Is it a hole
we're viewing or a sphere? Is it a beam or a slot? Etc, Etc.
The PCT does not require such shading of objects, nor is
cross-hatching in sectional views a common practice.
If
the structure in a patent drawing is to be accurately
understood, particularly during patent litigation, the USPTO
drawing standards lend themselves to the most comprehensive
understanding possible. For years, I have reviewed both the
Official Gazette and the PCT Gazette for potential competitive
patents. I can assure the reader that I have witnessed many
drawings published in the PCT Gazette as nothing more than
sketches, Imagine trying to understand a cross-sectional view
of a planetary transmission without the cross-hatching. Does
this mean that the required minimum 1/8 inch for characters and
reference numbers will be ignored? This in itself will
undoubtedly cause clarity problems for the Official Gazette.
Before any decision is final, I urge the reader and any other
person(s) interested, to review the PCT Gazette and ask
themselves, 'is this an acceptable drawing standard that will
lend itself and the intellectual property community to a more
thorough understanding of the claimed elements"? Thank you for
your input request.

(S7) Abstract

My design is a family of
machines designed to do the most good, Some fly otherwise
move by directing cold fluids/air over all their surfaces
so that they effectively can lift huge weights, including
their own armour. Heat seeking ordnance will deviate away
to hotter background. Amour is (from outside inwards),
maximum absorption rubber, maximum resilience rubber,
maximum toughness and springiness steel, maximum
resilience rubber. Maximum thickness aluminum. Thus
indetectable it night. Any incoming Ordnance will deflect
outwards because of luming couple caused by Maximum
resistance near surface and lower resistance inside.
Essentially I maximize pressure and temperature without
pollution, the most effective is circular motion to
centrifuge the combustion process but it also works well
on reciprocating engines. I refrigerate the exhaust using
the heat and low pressure to efficiently separate pure
water from salt water; thus I burn the salt in air/dry
steam - eternal power.
